Afterimage has many bosses for you to encounter in its expansive, hand-drawn world of Engardin, some being pushovers, with others being quite challenging and formidable to go up against. The mysterious Three Question Mark Boss (???) you encounter early in your journey is the latter and will give you a run for your money.

Up to this point of your adventure, the bosses have been interesting but not all that involved or demanding. Hence, the sudden spike in difficulty and power is a sight to behold and one that will force you to focus or die swiftly at the hands of this mysterious foe.

Three Question Mark Boss Overview

With the Lamellar Warrior down and the ability to Dash while airborne or grounded acquired, you can now pass over the raised drawbridge and access more of the Rainbow Plains area.

Once on the other side of the drawbridge, continue heading east until you reach a Confluence and rest at it to update your Map and replenish your Healing Relics. From here, you can keep east until you come to an open area, where you will run into the Three Question Mark Boss (???).

Despite only being Level 11, like the Lamellar Warrior, she is much more formidable in comparison and will require significantly more focus and strategy to beat. You can find more about her in the table below, hopefully giving you an idea of her strength.

Three Question Mark Boss Fight Guide

As touched on above, the Three Question Mark Boss is a force to be reckoned with and should not be taken lightly. She has access to eight moves, which is the most a boss has had so far by a wide margin, and all of them are devastating in their own right, making her all the scarier.

There will rarely be a moment where you aren't moving during this encounter, and your new Dash ability will prove helpful right from the jump of this battle, enabling you to get out of dodge and right back into action at a moment's notice.

This encounter will have you constantly dodging incoming attacks while looking for a window to get in and land a few hits of your own, all while moving quickly and decisively. One wrong move can spell your death, so use the guides below to learn more about her moveset and how to counter them.

Teleport

Ring Of Light

Crescent Waves

Blinking Crescent Slash

Full Moon Blade Rotation

Piercing Moon Beams

Charging Teleport

Instant Overhead Crescent Strike

Rinse and repeat these strategies until the Lamellar Warrior's HP is depleted!
